Hi all,
I have a little problem. I am implementing an application that uses the
OpenLDAP libraries. Until not too much time ago, linking with OpenSSL was
sufficiently safe (on almost every Linux distros) and providing my own

verification function through the SSL_CTX (by using the ldap_set_option(m_ldap,
LDAP_OPT_SERVER_CERTIFICATE, _my_verify)) was easy.

Now, Linux distros started to use GnuTLS, NSS, and OpenSSL as the crypto
API.
My question is: how do I develop an application that when deployed on different
systems might need to use functions and data structures from different crypto-api
(e.g., when I distribute the binaries of my app) ?
How can I retrieve that info *at runtime* (I'd like my binaries to be compatible) ?
At least, is there a function that allows me to know which crypto APIs are
expected by libldap_r (so that I don't pass in the wrong data structure
since it is a (void *)) ? Or at least, is there a way to set/get options so that
I would know which API is in use ?
Thanks,
